Sparksville Tank is a Raiders' right field foul pole

Billy Joe Fudge writes:
I think it is quite ironic that the Walmart tank location has Lindsey's Blue Raiders logo and this Sparksville location could have something similar in that the Sparksville team name was the Raiders. Additionally, the tank could easily be considered an over-sized right field foul pole on Raider field. -Billy Joe Fudge
